Educational workshops and special courses provide young investigators with opportunities to develop skills in clinical trial design, molecular biology, drug development, translational research, and related fields. These programs provide opportunities for individuals with some career experience to sharpen their skills, expand their expertise, and form collaborations among peers and leading cancer researchers from around the world. Many educational workshops and special courses are supported by grants from the National Cancer Institute and educational grants from corporate supporters.
Currently accepting applications:
Accelerating Anticancer Agent Development and Validation WorkshopMay 7-9, 2014 • Bethesda, MD, USA Registration now available
This workshop is designed to bring together leaders in clinical and translational cancer research from academia, industry, NCI, and FDA to assist investigators in understanding and improving the process of cancer drug development.
Integrative Molecular Epidemiology WorkshopAugust 11-15, 2014 • Boston, MA, USAApplication deadline extended to: Wednesday, April 23
This workshop is designed to accelerate the training of the next generation of cancer researchers who must be well-skilled in the integration of biology and epidemiology in studies of etiology and outcome. The workshop is primarily targeted toward molecular epidemiologists, but the materials are designed to also be appropriate for geneticists, statisticians, bioinformaticians, molecular biologists, physician scientists and others who have completed basic course work in epidemiology.
Translational Cancer Research for Basic ScientistsOctober 26-31, 2014 • Boston, MA, USAApplication deadline: Monday, May 12
This workshop will introduce the full spectrum of translational cancer research to late-stage Ph.D. candidates, early-career Ph.D.s, and established Ph.D.s in transition to translational research. The weeklong immersion course will feature: 1) didactic lectures; 2) offsite interactive visits to radiology and pathobiology departments, an IRB session, and outpatient cancer treatment clinics; and 3) small group discussion sessions. The extensive facilities of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute/Harvard Cancer Center will serve as the primary teaching venue for the "real world" offsite interactive visits. Participants will gain insights into clinical research and networking opportunities to foster their transition into the world of translational cancer research.
Methods in Clinical Cancer Research (Europe)June 21-27, 2014 • Flims, Switzerland Applications are no longer being accepted for this workshop. The application deadline was February 10.
Errors made in the design and conduct of a clinical trial can make it impossible for the trial to provide a definitive answer about the effectiveness of a new approach. Poor design can thus lead to the abandonment of promising avenues of research that are based on sound basic scientific work and to delays in the introduction of new treatments into the general practice of medical oncology. ECCO, AACR, EORTC and ESMO have responded to this problem by designing jointly a program that will (1) introduce junior clinical oncologists in any oncology subspecialty to the principles of good clinical trials design; i.e., give them the tools they need to conduct clinical trials that will yield clear results which investigators can use to proceed to the next level of research; (2) expose junior clinical oncologists to the full spectrum of challenges in clinical research, from conventional antineoplastic agents and multidisciplinary treatment regimens to gene therapy, in the expectation that they will then want to devote all or a portion of their future careers to some aspect of clinical research; and (3) develop a cadre of well-trained, experienced researchers whose expertise will foster better clinical trial designs and thereby hasten the introduction of improved regimens for cancer therapy and prevention into everyday medical practice and patient care.
Molecular Biology in Clinical Oncology WorkshopJuly 20-27, 2014 • Snowmass Village, CO, USAApplications are no longer being accepted for this Workshop. The application deadline was March 24.

Saints Falter Late, Hand Pfeiffer 10-5 Victory
DAHLONEGA, GA – North Georgia held a
four-run advantage after six innings, but Pfeiffer University
rallied with nine runs over the final three innings to come away
with a 10-5 victory over the Saints Sunday evening at Bob Stein
Pfeiffer jumped out to an early lead in the first inning on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Will Davis to score Josh Strickland and give the Falcons a 1-0 lead.
The North Georgia bats were ice cold the first three innings, but the fourth frame saw the Saints rally with a two-out double off the bat of Anders Oster to plate Andre Airich from first base and tie the game 1-1.
In the fifth inning, the Saints would add another two-out RBI, this time from Craig Brisson to bring Jordan Erisman trotting home from third base for a 2-1 advantage.
North Georgia broke the game open in the sixth innings, plating three runs on two hits, and an error to give the Saints a 5-1 lead. Airich and Oster provided the fireworks with RBI hits, while Adam Baker brought home a run with a groundout.
The Falcons came right back in the top of the seventh and used four walks to push across a pair of runs and pull to within 5-3. In the eighth, Pfeiffer had the bases jammed with two outs when a throwing error brought two runs home and tied the game 5-5. Jesse Dunn then stepped to the plate crushed a long fly ball to center field, plating two more runsan and capping a four-run eighth inning to give Pfeiffer a 7-5 lead.
Pfeiffer would add three more runs in the final frame for a 10-5 comeback win.
Casey Smith picked up the win for the Falcons in relief, tossing four innings of three-hit ball, while striking out a pair. Rickett (0-1) was tagged with the loss in 1.1 innings of work.
The Saints return to action Wednesday afternoon, traveling to South Carolina to take on Anderson University with first pitch set for 3:00 p.m.

Ben & Jerry's back GMO billJanuary 28,2013Ben & Jerry's
back GMO bill
MONTPELIER — Vermont-based ice cream maker Ben & Jerry's has come out in support of state legislation requiring labeling of products containing genetically modified organisms, and says it will stop using such products by the end of this year.
The company, a subsidiary of international food conglomerate Unilever, said 26 of its ice cream flavors — ranging from Cherry Garcia to Mint Chocolate Cookie — already come without GMOs.
The company's stance is winning praise from groups supporting GMO labeling, including Rural Vermont and the Vermont Public Interest Research Group.
Legislation to require labeling of products with GMOs failed to win passage last year, but backers are trying again this year.
McKibben to speak
at Statehouse
MONTPELIER — Environmental activist Bill McKibben will speak to the Vermont Legislature about climate change and how it relates to the state.
House Speaker Shap Smith said Friday he's invited McKibben to speak Wednesday afternoon.
Vermont Public Radio said McKibben's been supporting a campaign to get resolutions on town meeting day ballots that oppose the shipment of tar-sands oil across northeastern sections of the state.
Smith's office said it prioritizes climate change as one of the most important challenges facing the state.
Hearing set on death with dignity
MONTPELIER — A big crowd is expected at a public hearing this week at the Vermont Statehouse on legislation that would allow physicians to prescribe a lethal dose of medications to terminally ill patients who wish to take their own lives.
It's an issue that has come up repeatedly in recent years. Backers say the current makeup of the Legislature and support from Gov. Peter Shumlin give what's variously called death with dignity and physician-assisted suicide the best chance it's had yet of passing this year.
Four legislative committees will be on hand in the main House chamber to take testimony from the public from 5 to 7 p.m. Tuesday.

Regulation 13 Certificates
Regulation 13 Certificates are a legal document which display a station coordinate and the uncertainty of that coordinate. The Certificates are generally requested by Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) operators as a means of providing their users with an accurate connection to the Australian Datum – the Geocentric Datum of Australia 1994 (GDA94). Geoscience Australia is appointed as a legal metrology authority under the National Measurement Act, 1960, to provide this legal chain of traceability.
Requesting Regulation 13 Certificates
Geoscience Australia provides a free service to obtain Regulation 13 Certificates on your survey marks which are normally Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS).
What you need to provide us:
- Cover letter (on letterhead) formally requesting a "Certificate of Verification of a Reference Standard of a Position-Measurement in Accordance with Regulation 13 of the National Measurement Regulations 1999" for your stations. The letter should include:
- The number of stations that you require certificates for.
- Clearly indicate who you are, including your address and contact details.
- This letter should be addressed to:
National Geospatial Reference System Section
Geoscience Australia
c/o Nicholas Brown
GPO Box 378
Canberra, ACT, 2601
- A summary file containing all the metadata associated with your sites, including:
- Antenna type and serial number (refer to IGS Central Bureau for IGS standard naming convention ).
- Receiver type and serial number (refer to IGS Central Bureau for IGS standard naming convention ).
- Site photo(s) including a photo that clearly shows the antenna serial and model number.
- Antenna offset measurement, i.e. the vertical distance between the antenna reference point (ARP) and the station mark. A diagram showing the relationship between the ARP and the station mark would also be useful.
View a sample metadata summary file and submission checklist
- CD or DVD of GPS RINEX files (RINEX version 2.11). Each station should have:
- One full GPS week of dual-frequency data, Sunday to Saturday, inclusive,
- Ideally been observed at a 30 second observation interval, and
- The RINEX headers should be fully consistent with the summary metadata file.
View a sample dataset
What we will provide you with after our analysis is:
- A Certificate of Verification of a Reference Standard of a Position-Measurement in Accordance with Regulation 13 of the National Measurement Regulations 1999 for each station. The certificates will be valid for 5 years and will apply to the station mark, but only have validity if you continue to operate the station with the identical equipment. Critically, this means the same antenna as that on the certificate, and
- A NATA certified analysis report.

Rob Thurman - Author
Stefan Korsak and his genetically-altered brother have evaded the Institute for three years. When they learn the new location of the secret lab, they plan to break in and save the remaining children there. But one of the little ones doesn't want to leave. She wants to kill...
On the day a nine-year-old boy killed Stefan, he didn't see his life flash before his eyes.
It's what they say you'll see, but not him. Clichés, who needed them?
That this was the second time in his life he'd thought the same exact thing would've been worth mentioning… if it hadn't been for the actual process of dying. That tended to be distracting from pithy observations. He was aware that he was lacking in the last-thoughts, much less last-words, department. He knew… but what could a guy do?
Life is like that. Sooner or later, it boils down to, &What the hell can you do?&
His brother, Michael, once told him that when he had no hope, he dreamed of sun, wind, and horses. They were a part of his pastin a way,the best part. Every night he had dreamed of themsun, wind, and horses. When Stefan had no hope, because dying doesn't leave a person much, he saw the same.
Sun, wind, and horses.
Stefan felt his heart stutter and skip. He wouldn't have thought that one or two missed beats would hurt that much, but they did. Invisible fingers of agony fastened around that beating hunk of muscle and squeezed once, twice, as his lungs staggered in sync. Then red, as scarlet as a field of poppies, bloomed behind his eyes, and he was on the beach. There were pounding waves, pale sand, and a sky so blue it couldn't be real. It was a child's painting, carefully covering every bit of the paper; it was blue and dense enough that you could probably scrape a thick peeling of color away with a thumbnail. He could smell the salt that stung his nose, feel the water that soaked his legs, and the warmth of the horse beneath them, the coarse mane he hung on to as he galloped through the surf. The wind in his face made him feel that he could fly. It was one of those moments no one forgets; the exhilaration, the sensation of wind, water, and sun branded forever in the mind of the fourteen-year-old kid.
He couldn't see his brother, but he could hear him laughing in the way only a seven-year-old can laughwith all his being. He was on his own horse behind Stefan, sharing the adventure. It was a great memory, there, thenbefore the blood. Before the red coated the rock and sand, it was better than greatit was the perfect memory. Time spent with the strippers in his old Mafiya haunts didn't beat that. Even the first time he fell in love didn't conquer that. Didn't come close.
The next flash was when he'd saved his brother ten years after his abduction on that same beach. Stefan didn't see him through his own eyes this time. He wasn't Stefan anymore. He was his brother. He saw himself from his brother's point of viewa stranger all in black standing in the doorway of his prison, then pulling him out of a place of horror. He felt his confusion, his lack of trust, but years of brainwashed obedience had him allowing the grip on his arm and the tug and run to freedom. The gravel and glass under his bare feet, the pain of the cuts, the ear-ripping explosions of firing guns, and the stars; Stefan felt and saw it all. Pain, blood, and flying bullets; he'd thought that would be what would stick with the kidMichaelbut it was the stars he remembered the most. The studentsthe prisonersof the facility weren't allowed to wander the grounds at night, and they didn't have windows in the small cell-like rooms. Death behind him, and, for all he knew, death in front of him, but it was the stars that he saw. Far from any city, deep in the Everglades, the sky might be the color of the Grim Reaper's cloak, but Death's robe did make the ideal background for a hundred stars.
Brilliant light that shone down on you and could almost make you believe in miracles.
A light that could almost make you believe escape could be real and life was more than being trained to kill turned into a weapon with no will of your own.
A light that was worth dying to see.
Only Michael had it in him to think that, which was unbelievable too. A wonder. He was a good kid. A damn good kid. The best. Even while dying, Stefan knew that as well as he knew anything in the goddamn world.
Michael left the bullets and the stars behind. The next was a string of emotions: fear, confusion, exasperation, more confusion, bewilderment, denial, annoyance, finally a reluctant acceptance, contentment, and a sense of belonging. All those emotions had been caused by Stefan, and while he wished the ones at the beginning could've been avoided, he was damn proud of the ones he felt… that his brother felt at the end.
Aside from emotions, there was also life in the world outside a concrete/razor-wire wall of the worst of prisons. Movies, TV, books, people that weren't instructors or torturers, restaurants, pizza, girls, a smelly ferret, making his own decisionsa life. A real life, something he'd thought impossible. And family, something he thought a fairy tale. Michael had been stunned by that. Amazed. He had family, a concept that even a genius like him could barely comprehend and could never have imagined applied to him. Someone cared about him. Someone told him he belonged. Someone would give up everything for him. Someone would give up their life for him. He wasn't alone.
He had his brother. He had Stefan.
Almost impossible to believe, but it was true.
If someone could like dying, Stefan liked that he was reliving Michael's life and not going through a rerun of his own. This way he didn't have to wonder if he'd done good by the kid, done good by his brother; he knew. He absolutely knew he'd done good. No doubts. Not a one.
The kid could've done better than him, he thought in disjointed chunks as he faded further into the darkness, but it was something; it truly was… what Michael thought so fiercely as that Grim Reaper's cloak from the Everglades came to wrap tighter around Stefan. Family. Brother. You always watched out for your brother, no matter if he was the older one. You held on to your family because having one was a luxury no one… goddamn no one could afford to take for granted. You didn't let your family down and you didn't let you brother down, no matter how many times he called you a kid.
How did Stefan know that? How did he know what his brother had experienced thought by thought years ago? What he was thinking now? How did he know Michael felt that wayeven down to his annoyance at being called a kid? His absolute fury that Stefan would dare die on him? How did he get that last gift?
That was easy.
Because on the day Stefan died, that kid proved what his brother had known about him all along.
That damn kid… he was a miracle.
Chapter One
&Hey, kid. I'll take a black coffee, large. I need something to keep me awake in this boring-ass town.&
I didn't bother to look up from my book resting on the counter. &I'm not a kid.& I repeated that every day to my brother, not that he listened. I turned a page. My name was actually Michael, but I couldn't tell the customer that; I couldn't tell anyone. &And it's already waiting for you at the end of the counter. That will be three fifty.& I'd seen him come in, a flash in the corner of my eye, and heard his loud voice from the sidewalk long before he'd entered. If he had been a regular, I'd have given him my immediate attention and the service-friendly smile that exactly echoed that of the former employee of the month, whose picture was framed on the wall. It was the right kind of smile… friendly but not stalker-friendly. It said, &I make minimum wage, but it's a nice day, and you seem like a nice person. How can I help you?& It was natural, nonnoteworthy, and appropriate for the job. It took me two tries in the bathroom mirror to copy it, and I'd used it for every patron since the day the coffee shop had hired me. It was the expected smilethe normal smile.
It was important to be normal.
At least, it was important that people think that you were normal.
I wasn't normal.
This tourist was my first exception to piece my mask of prosaic, run-of-the-mill normalcy. He'd come in every day for a week, ordering the same thing, tipping the same amountnothingand saying the same insult: boring-ass town. Cascade Falls was not a boring-ass town. It was a nice town. It was small and inconspicuous and no one had tried to kill me or my brother here, not yet. That made it the perfect town really, and I wished that this guy's new wifeit had to be a new wife, he wasn't the camping typehad planned their honeymoon elsewhere, because I was tired of hearing him carp every morning. I was tired of him, period.
Also, only my brother could get away with calling me kid.
The man was five foot ten, about forty to forty-three, mildly thinning blond hair greasy with the sheen of Rogaine, hazel eyes that blinked with astigmatism or too much alcohol the night before, twenty-two to twenty-five pounds overweight, and with a small crease in his earlobe that indicated possible heart problems due to his body's inability to cope with his diet. He glared at me over the top of sunglasses he hardly needed on a typical Oregon day in the Falls and tossed down three dollar bills and two carefully fished-for quarters. He snorted and flicked the tip jar with a finger. &Like you caffeine pushers do anything worth a tip.&
He made his way down to a cardboard cup of coffee, still steaming, that was waiting for him, grabbed it, and headed for the door. I could do something worth a tip, quite a few somethings, if that was his complaint, but I doubted he wanted to experience any of them. Although, making him impotent on his honeymoon would be a poetic punishment…
I shook my head, clearing it. Simply because I could do certain things didn't mean it was right. I knew right from wrong. My brother, Stefan, had commented on it oncethat I knew right from wrong better than anyone raised in a family of Peace Corps pacifists descended from the bloodlines of Gandhi and Mother Teresa. Considering how I'd actually been raised, what I had been molded for and meant to be, he said that made him proud as hell of me. Proud. I ducked my head down to study my book again, but I didn't see the words, only smears of black ink. Stefan was proud of me and not for what I could do, but for what I refused to do. It was a good feeling, and while it might have been almost three years since he'd first said it, I remembered how it felt thenand all the other times he'd said it since. It was a feeling worth holding on to. I concentrated on that rather than on what I wanted to do to the rude tourist.
Stefan also said that despite his former career, he knew right from wrong too, but before he found me, he was beginning to lose his tolerance for it. It was a lieor maybe a wish that he could do away with his conscience, because what he'd once done had to weigh on it. He'd worked for the Russian Mafiya. He'd done bad things to… well, probably equally bad or corrupt people, but the weak too. The weak always got in over their heads in dark waters. What Stefan had done, he didn't want to tell me and I didn't push, but I did my research. You didn't work as a bodyguard in the Russian mob as Stefan had without doing some serious damage to people who may or may not have deserved it.
Regardless of that and regardless of the things Stefan had done for me, under that ruthlessness to protect, and the willingness to kill if that was what it took to keep me safe, there was a part of him that wanted to believe in a world that was fair. He wanted to believe that concepts like right and wrong could be viable. Despite all he'd done and had been forced to do, he wanted to believe, though he knew better. Stefan had a heart and he didn't realize it. Why else would he search for a kidnapped brother for ten years when hisourown father had given up?
Older brothers, especially ex-mobsters, weren't supposed to be more naïve than their younger ones, but Stefan… sometimes I thought he was. We had both been trained to be killers, but I thought I'd learned far more than Stefan. He would deny it, but he was wrong.
If he hadn't spent almost half of his life looking for me and doing what was necessary to finance that search, I wasn't sure what my brother would've been. Not what he was, I did know that. When I had been takensuch a simple wordit had ruined lives, and when it came to Stefan, when I had been abducted, it had done more than ruin. It had done things I wasn't sure there were words for. And when it had happened, it had changed my brother as much as it had mewhich wasn't either right or fair. But true as that was, we were both alive and free now, and that was a thousand times more than I'd ever expected or dreamed. Where I had spent most of my life, freedom wasn't a concept, only a meaningless word to be looked up in a dictionary.
My brother had made it mean something. Cascade Falls was part of that, which only made me wish again I had made that tourist pay for his contempt. And that was a slippery slope. I focused on my book and the words swam into focus. I was close, very close to what I was trying to accomplishit was only a matter of weeks or maybe days, I hoped. I'd had seven years of a normal life before I'd been kidnapped, Stefan said, although I couldn't remember a single second of them; ten years of captivity, which I remembered with stark, vivid clarity; and nearly three years of freedom, freedom to do research; and now the time was almost right. I was almost there. All the more reason to learn more and do it faster.
A finger poked at my book on neurosurgery. &Parker, you're always studying. If you're not going to college, why bother?&
Parker wasn't my real name, but Sarafynna didn't know that. Then again, Sarafynna didn't know how to spell her own name and that made me doubt she cared that my name was actually Michael. Or Mykyl. When it came to Sarafynna, I wasn't too sure that wasn't how the letters popped up in her brain. Truthfully, I wasn't sure Sarafynna had a brain at all without an MRI to back that up. All that Sarathe nickname was much simpler and it didn't make my mind twitchknew was how to put whipped cream on top of the lattes and how to flirt. To &mack& or &hit on& guys. Since I didn't know who Mack was, I went with the other one&hit on.& That was more modern than &flirt&… to &hit on& guys. Whatever. I had more significant things to concentrate on.
Saving brain cells for important information outweighed saving them for teenage slangwhich was mostly uninteresting anyway. Besides, in another month I wouldn't be a teenager anymore.
In almost three years I'd learned about flirting and sex, but now… at nineteen closing in on twenty, I liked intelligence in girls or women. Sara was entertaining and she let me know my hormones were working at top capacityshe was gorgeous… Hot, I mean&hot& was what someone my age should say. But she didn't have it all. I'd come to find out that I needed resourceful and smart too; Sara had everything except that. She had sunshine-bright blond hairfake; big, turquoise eyesfake; and she bounced wherever she went. That meant certain things on her, those things also fake, bounced with her as she went and rarely stopped bouncing. The first time Stefan had met her, he waited until I got off work that night and took me to the drugstore for a box of condoms.
I told him I didn't need them, and he told me I was an idiot if I didn't want to play in that sandbox. I was nineteen, he said with a grin, and that was what nineteen was all about. Nineteen and frictionknock yourself out.
But I didn't. I saw her fake-colored contacts and thought about the one I wore that turned my one blue eye mossy green to match the other onetwo fakes don't make a reality; I thought about her lack upstairs of anything but whipped cream, and it seemed like a waste. 'Stefan and I had lived in Bolivia for two years before we came to Cascade Falls. I'd played in sandboxes there, whatever Stefan had said. It wasn't as if I were a virgin. I'd had the experience… experiences. I'd been seventeen before I'd gotten to make my own choices, even a single one. Now that I had almost three years of making decisions for myself, I wanted to be sure that each one I made now was the best I could make.
Sara did bounce in a very intriguing way, though. It might be worth thinking about. Hmm.
&I might go to college someday,& I said, turning another page. What I didn't tell her was that I was going to the equivalent of college and then some. I had the knowledge base for a medical degree with a specialty in biogenetics with an emphasis on polymorphism and pseudogenes, and a PhD in biochemistry and neurology.
Nineteen and a doctor three times over, but it was amazing what you could learn when you could hack into the computer system of any university in the world. Computer hacking had actually been the easiest thing to learn compared to many other things. In fact, it was pretty boring.
Yes, I'm smart. I know.
The question was whether I was born that way or made that way.
&College sounds like a lot of work.& Sara's voice brightened. &Except for the parties. I'll bet frat parties are fun. Maybe I should go. My parents keep bitching at me to since I graduated.& She pushed up to sit on the counteragainst the rulesbut I was reading. Technically I shouldn't notice.
And technically my eyes didn't wander to technically not watch her bouncinglying to yourself can be entertainingwhen I saw past her to the television in the break room. What I saw on it made Sara's whipped cream skills and bouncing vanish. The sound was turned low, but I could still hear it. I could still see him on the small screen. I saw a man I'd never expected to see again. His face had that enigmatic smile that could save your life or far more likely put you in your grave; he was Stefan's father.
Or our father, Stefan would say… Anatoly Korsak.
And they were saying he was dead.
I told Sara I felt sick, and then I went to the bathroom and threw up, nice and loudno finger needed. Genetic skills, I had them in spades. And you don't tell stories you can't back up. You always do what needs to be done to provide evidence to support your deception. I hadn't learned that from Stefan. I'd learned it at the Institutethe place Stefan had rescued me from. The Institute had thousands of lessons and some hung around, lingeredwhen I was awake, when I was asleep. They most likely would my whole life. When it came to making people think what you wanted, a small number of those lessons were harmless, the rest considerably less so, but all were efficient.
I was nothing if not extremely efficient.
My trip to the bathroom got me a &Shit, Parker, sweetie. Are you okay?& from Sara and a call to someone else to replace me. Ben Jansen. Ben liked the bouncing as much as I didor as much as Stefan said I should.
Stefan… he should know better. He shouldn't have done this. There was protective and overprotective; then there was something so far beyond thata word hadn't been invented for it yetand that was what Stefan practiced. Anatoly was dead; it was all over the news, and Stefan hadn't told me. He hadn't called me to let me know. How could he think I wouldn't find out? I didn't know, but I did know it had to stop. Nearly three years free and twice I'd saved his life; it was a two-way street now. He had to trust me with the bad as well as the good. I wasn't a kid anymore, no matter what he called me. I could more than carry my own weight.
The coffee shop door shut behind me and I started down the sidewalk with my hands in my pockets, heading to my car. It was seven years old, gray, and a Toyota. They were virtually invisible. That was mob and Institute knowledge, oddly coinciding. Low tech meets high tech, with the same purpose: clean getaways. Of course, the Institute expected no getaway would be necessary if you did your job adequately. I guessed we'd fooled them, because Cascade Falls was a clean getaway so far.
In the distance I could see through the trees the silver glint of the Bridge of the Heavens crossing the Columbia River. When we'd picked this place to live, Stefan had quirked his lips. &Bridge of the Heavens,& he'd said. &How about that, Misha? That must mean this is Paradise.& Sometimes he could be a little thick, my brother. He didn't always get that everywhere I went outside of the Institute was Paradise. If there was actually a Hell, the Institute would make it seem like Paradise too. Hell would be a walk in the park. Hell would be nothing.
&Hey, smart-ass. You get tired of ripping people off with your high-priced shit?& The words, tainted with bile, came from out of nowhere, or nowhere if your attention was not in the here and now, and mine wasn't.
Stupid. How could I be so careless and stupid? Anatoly was no excuse. You were always ready. Always.
It was the tourist. He was sitting on the wrought-iron bench, always freshly painted bright blue, outside Printz's Bakery. I noticed that every day. The swirls of iron reflected the exact same color of the sky overhead. It was one more detail about Cascade Falls that made me… happy, I guess, and made it my home. The tourist wasn't one of those warm, small-town features. There wasn't anything warm about him at all, except his sweat. He had a cheese Danish the size of a four-year-old's head in one hand and a smear of buttery cheese on his chin as he glared at me. As I'd thought earlierhis body had its work cut out in taking care of him.
But it wasn't my job to take care of him, unlike his unlucky heart, and I ignored him and kept walking. That was normal too and being normal was the best move I could make now. Do as a normal teenager would do. Only I was barely still a teenager and I was nothing close to normal. But I played the game as I'd been taught. Normal teenagers usually aren't polite to annoying peopleor assholesand that meant I walked on as if I hadn't heard him.
Stefan would definitely say this guy was an asshole. He wouldn't be wrong.
&Shithead, I'm talking to you.& I'd only just passed him when there was a hand grabbing my arm to give me a shake. From the smell, he'd put something in the coffee after he'd left the shop. Cheese, alcohol, coffee, and natural halitosisI'd smelled better things and I'd smelled worse. People almost always smelled worse on the inside than the outside.
The Institute had had anatomy classes and enough cadavers to make Harvard Medical School jealous. The Institute taught its students to hurt people, taught them to use what had been stamped on their genes. But I hadn't wanted to hurt anyone. I hadn't wanted to kill anyone. The thought of it, in self-defense or not, had made me sick. That didn't mean I wasn't forced to learn and it didn't mean I hadn't killed.
I didn't plan on ever doing it again.
In addition, the Institute had biology classes. One thing they taught us there was that as adolescent males grow, the production of testosterone increases, and so do levels of aggressionthe natural kind that gives you the instinct to protect yourself if attacked. Three years ago I wouldn't have hurt this on-my-last-nerve irritating tourist. I wouldn't hurt him now, although the jolting surprise of his voice and his shaking me made it a very close thing. But I caught myself. He wasn't a threat, despite being bigger than I was. No, I wouldn't hurt him, but it didn't mean I wasn't more tempted now than I would've been when I was younger. My temper ran hotter now than it had then. Natureit can't be stoppedusually.
Slippery slope, I was repeating to myself, same as I had in the coffee shop, when he shook my arm again, harder this time. Slippery, slippery slope.
But then again, what was one ski run, really? Just the one?
This once, I gave in to nature. I looked at the tourist and tried not to smile. I didn't think I was successful and I doubted it was a friendly smile. Not that employee of the month one. &Alcohol is harmful to your liver and not all that great for your stomach either,& I said, pulling my arm free. His eyes widened, he dropped the Danish he was holding in his other hand, and I backed away quickly. I made it in time as he bent over and threw up on the sidewalk. I'd done the same to myself earlier in the coffee house bathroom, but not quite so… explosively. I should've been sorry, but I wasn't. He deserved it. Out of range and unsplattered, I turned my back on him and kept walking toward my car. I heard him vomit one more time, curse, groan, and then vomit again. He would keep it up for approximately the next fifteen minutes until he was empty of everything, including yesterday's breakfast. He would chalk it up to strong coffee, whatever alcohol he'd put in it, and the Danish. After all, what other explanation could there be?
Other than me?
He was fortunate I wasn't more like my former classmates. If I had been, that one touch of his hand to my arm, that hard shake he'd given meI could've ripped holes in his brain, torn his heart into pieces, liquefied his intestines. After all, that was what I was: a genetically created, lab-altered, medically modified child of Frankenstein, trained to do one thing and one thing only.
All with a single touch.
Isn't science fun?
Besides, vomiting didn't hurt. It was only annoying, like the man who was doing it.
Mr. Fat-ass Danish would never know. I climbed into the car, pleased for a split second. Mr. Fat-ass Danish… the phrase had come out naturally, no work at all. Cursing was one thing that had proved difficult to learn. I was getting better at it. Then I remembered Anatoly, and the pleasure popped and disappeared like a soap bubble. Stefan and I needed to talk. I started the car. His babysitting days were over. That took me to the most simple of physics lessons: immovable object, unstoppable force. I sighed and pulled the car away from the curb.
All right, his babysitting days were mostly over.

Review of the 2014 Chevrolet Equinox
The 2014 Chevy Equinox is a worthy choice for a small crossover SUV, particularly if you're interested in one with a nice highway ride and an available V6 engine.
- Safety | Reliability
Premium look inside and out; strong optional V6 engine; quiet interior; comfortable highway ride; spacious and adjustable backseat.
Four-cylinder version feels sluggish on the highway and real-world mpg falls short of EPA ratings; less cargo space than rivals; steering isn't very precise.

Full 2014 Chevrolet Equinox Review
What's New for 2014
For 2014, the Chevrolet Equinox is essentially unchanged.
Since its introduction back in 2010, the Chevrolet Equinox has been one of our favorite small crossover SUVs thanks to its combination of good looks, comfort and practicality. Compared to some more recently introduced or redesigned models, the 2014 Chevy Equinox isn't quite as desirable as it once was, but it's still a model you'll likely want to take a look at if you're shopping for a compact crossover.
High on the Equinox's positive attribute list is the availability of a strong V6 engine. More and more automakers are dropping the optional V6s from their small crossover lineups due to fuel economy concerns or a claimed lack of consumer demand. This leaves the Equinox (plus its GMC twin, the Terrain) as one of only a few models in 2014 that offers six-cylinder grunt for towing or hauling or merely to satisfy your desire for speed.
The Equinox also gets a thumbs-up for its overall ride comfort and the quietness of its cabin. This small Chevy doesn't offer quite as much cargo capacity as some rivals, but there's still enough to deal with the typical items that most people will be looking to haul. Plus, we like that the Equinox's rear seat both reclines and slides back to give second-row occupants first-class legroom.
Less impressive is the Equinox's 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that's standard on all trim levels. It has solid EPA fuel economy ratings, but out in the real world, we've been underwhelmed by both its performance and its fuel economy. Handling isn't a strong suit for the Equinox either, and its steering isn't very precise even by budget crossover SUV standards.
If practicality is your top priority, you'd be wise to check out the roomier and multitalented Honda CR-V or perhaps the Kia Sorento, which also has a V6 option plus an available third-row seat. Shoppers looking for a more entertaining driving experience will also want to look at sportier models like the Ford Escape, Mazda CX-5 or Volkswagen Tiguan. But all things considered, the 2014 Chevrolet Equinox is definitely worth a look, particularly if you're interested in a small crossover with a truly upscale interior and a V6 engine option.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The 2014 Chevrolet Equinox is a compact crossover SUV that's offered in three trim levels: LS, LT and LTZ.
Standard equipment on the entry-level LS includes 17-inch alloy wheels, automatic headlights, keyless entry, air-conditioning, cloth upholstery, a driver seat with power height adjustment, a 60/40-split second-row seat that slides and reclines, cruise control, a trip computer, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel with audio controls, Bluetooth phone connectivity, OnStar communications and a six-speaker sound system with a CD player, satellite radio, an auxiliary audio input jack and a USB/iPod interface.
The LT trim level is actually split into two subsets: 1LT and 2LT. The 1LT adds heated mirrors, rear privacy glass, roof rack side rails, premium cloth upholstery, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a rearview camera and an upgraded audio system that has a 7-inch touchscreen (Chevy's MyLink interface), Bluetooth audio connectivity, voice controls and smartphone integration for Internet radio apps such as Pandora.
Moving up to the 2LT gets you foglights, remote start, automatic climate control, heated front seats, an eight-way power driver seat, an auto-dimming rearview mirror and a Pioneer sound system with eight speakers.
Springing for the top-of-the-line LTZ gets you some nice extras, including 18-inch chromed alloy wheels, a power liftgate, rear parking sensors, leather upholstery, an eight-way power passenger seat, driver memory settings and a lane departure warning system with forward collision alert. LTZ models equipped with the V6 engine also get firmer suspension tuning.
Some of the standard features on upper trim levels are bundled into option packages that can be added to the less expensive models. Other options include 19-inch chrome-clad alloy wheels (LTZ V6 only), a sunroof, a navigation system (2LT and LTZ) and a dual-screen rear-seat entertainment system (LTZ only).
Powertrains and Performance
The 2014 Chevrolet Equinox is offered with one of two powertrains. A 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that puts out 182 horsepower and 172 pound-feet of torque is standard across the model lineup, as are a six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. An all-wheel-drive system is optional.
In Edmunds testing, a front-wheel-drive Equinox with the four-cylinder engine accelerated from zero to 60 mph in 9.3 seconds, an average number for this segment. EPA fuel economy estimates are 22 mpg city/32 mpg highway and 26 mpg combined with front-wheel drive and 20/29/23 with all-wheel drive. While these numbers are impressive, in our tests the Equinox had a hard time matching them, especially on the highway.
LT and LTZ models are also available with a 3.6-liter V6 that produces 301 hp and 272 lb-ft of torque. In testing of the essentially identical GMC Terrain V6, we recorded a 0-60 mph time of 7.0 seconds, an impressive time among small and midsize crossovers with a six-cylinder or upgraded turbocharged engine. Not surprisingly, EPA fuel economy estimates for this engine are significantly lower at 17/24/20 with front-wheel drive and 16/23/19 with all-wheel drive.
Properly equipped, four-cylinder models will tow up to 1,500 pounds. With the V6, towing capacity climbs to 3,500 pounds.
Standard safety features on the 2014 Chevy Equinox include antilock disc brakes, traction and stability control, front seat side-impact airbags and side curtain airbags. Also standard is GM's OnStar emergency communications system, which includes automatic crash notification, an emergency assistance button, remote door unlock and stolen vehicle assistance. A rearview camera is standard on all trims except the LS. Standard on the LTZ and optional on the 2LT are rear parking sensors and frontal collision and lane departure warning systems.
In Edmunds brake testing an Equinox came to a stop from 60 mph in 122 feet, which is about average for this type of vehicle. In government crash tests, the Equinox received an overall score of four stars out of a possible five. Within that rating, it received four stars for overall frontal crash protection and five stars for overall side protection. In moderate-overlap frontal-offset, side-impact and roof-strength crash testing conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the Equinox earned a top "Good" rating.
Interior Design and Special Features
Inside, the 2014 Chevrolet Equinox offers a stylish cabin with a distinctive dual-cowl design that looks all the more appealing with the available two-tone color scheme. The quality of the materials is just average, but the overall effect is quite pleasing, especially compared to some of the Chevy's competitors, which don't put as much priority on design.
Another strength here is the audio system's touchscreen interface (1LT and above) that features customizable menus similar to those on modern smartphones. The MyLink system incorporates Bluetooth streaming audio capability, which allows it to work with popular smartphone apps like Pandora and Stitcher. Weak spots here include the touchscreen's occasional slow processing times and missed responses to touch inputs.
Seating comfort and legroom is good all around, and the sliding and reclining second-row seats allow you to expand the amount of legroom in the rear. The downside to all this room being devoted to passengers is that the Equinox offers less cargo space than many competitors, with 31.4 cubic feet of storage behind the 60/40-split rear seats. Fold both sections of those seatbacks down and the interior maxes out at 63.7 cubic feet of cargo room -- the CR-V and Sorento offer more than 70 cubic feet of capacity.
Driving Impressions
The driving character of the 2014 Chevrolet Equinox is largely dictated by what's under the hood. Although the four-cylinder Equinox matches the acceleration times of other compact crossovers in this price range, it doesn't feel as potent out in the real world. You'll have the gas pedal floored during routine merging and passing maneuvers, and this isn't very relaxing. In contrast, the V6 is downright impressive. It provides strong and smooth performance in any situation.
The Equinox's handling abilities are nothing special. The steering isn't very precise, and the Chevy's suspension is tuned to favor comfort over sharp handling around turns. The upside, of course, is a smooth ride that's enhanced by the overall serenity of the cabin.

" Clean rooms, clean restrooms, friendly staff, location I would say a little bit far away from the interesting part of München. In general I think the Hostel is very good, as all the International Hostels, but I was a bit suprised that the International Hostel in Luxembourg has a much better atmosphere than this one; I expected a better atmosphere since München is bigger and attracts more tourists. Anyway, I would recommend this Hostel for sure. "

Computerized (GOTO) Telescopes
Starting to learn the night sky from a light polluted area is quite easy; only a few stars to learn and see. Viewing from a dark sky for the first time can be startling but confusing. With the assistance of a GoTo Computerized Telescope, the amateur astronomer can have their telescopes guide them through the night sky through a few basic initial steps (these steps can differ depending on what alignment system the telescope mount accepts). With a simple computerized hand controller, time and date must be entered (if there is no built in GPS system) and the observer must slew to two named stars so the computerized GoTo mount can calculate coordinates accurately. Always make sure the mount is properly balanced prior to alignment; helps in accuracy. Some of the most common alignment systems include the Celestron All-Star, Two-Star, Sky-Align, Meade AutoAlign, and Vixen's StarBook Ten.

The Orlando Sentinel has ranked all 125 Football Bowl Subdivision teams in the country. The Sentinel staff will take a closer look at a new team daily, counting backward from No. 125 to our projected No. 1 team.
Today at No. 119: Eastern Michigan
Coach: Ron English (10-38, fifth season; 10-38 overall)
2012 record: 2-10 (1-7 in Mid-American Conference, sixth in the West Division)
Look back: It's been a seesaw ride for the Eastern Michigan football program. The Eagles haven't had a winning season since 1995 with a 6-6 record in 2011 as its closest attempt. That's why it appears the program took a discernible step back in 2012. The team stumbled out of the gates, losing its first six games including a 31-14 loss to FCS opponent Illinois State in the second week of the season. Quarterback Alex Gillett was benched in the third week of the season for Tyler Benz. EMU finally broke into the win column with a 48-38 victory over Army on Oct. 20, but followed that up with three straight losses. The team salvaged a win over Western Michigan on Nov. 17 to finish at 2-10 for the second time under English.
Offensive starters returning: 8
Offensive starters lost: 3
Defensive starters returning: 5
Defensive starters lost: 6
Key losses: QB Alex Gillett, TE Garrett Hoskins, P Jay Karutz, LB Blake Poole, LB Justin Cudworth, DL Andy Mulumba, OL Korey Neal, OL Corey Watman, OL Andrew Sorgatz
Top returnees: RB Bronson Hill, QB Tyler Benz, WR Donald Scott, WR Dustin Creel, TE Tyreese Russell, DB Pudge Cotton, PK Dylan Mulder, DB Donald Coleman, DE Kalonji Kashama
Strengths: It wasn't any easy decision, but starting Tyler Benz at quarterback last season could pay off with bigger dividends in 2013. The redshirt sophomore completed 53 percent of his passes for 1,511 yards and 14 touchdowns. Benz's development will be crucial for the Eagles offense which finished 11th in the Mid-American Conference in scoring offense (21.3 ppg) and 12th in total offense (335.3 ypg). … The rushing offense – which was seventh in the conference with 163.8 ypg – returns leading rusher Bronson Hill (920 yards, 6 TDs). … Three receivers return as well including Donald Scott (255 yards, 3 TDs), Dustin Creel (220 yards) and Tyreese Russell (196 yards, 3 TDs).
Weaknesses: The biggest concern for English and offensive coordinator Stan Parrish has to be the lack of depth at offensive line. The group only returns two starters from last season, which makes finding replacements for Andrew Sorgatz and Korey Neal a priority. … The defense loses six starters from a unit that ranked last in the league in total defense (478.9 ypg). Linebackers Blake Poole (89 total tackles) and Justin Cudworth (85 total tackles, 8.0 tackles for loss) are gone making the position a concern in 2013.
Outlook: It's been an up-and-down battle for Ron English as he continues to try and rebuild the Eagles football program and it won't get any easier in 2013. The defense has some major questions and the schedule features seven teams which were bowl eligible in 2012.

50-0 Saints Headed Back to College World Series
– With one game standing between No. 1 North Georgia and the
World Series, the Saints erupted in the fifth inning for 10 runs on
their way to a 15-0 victory over Lenoir-Rhyne, capturing the
Southeast Super Regional for the second straight season at Haines
& Carolyn Hill Stadium.
The Saints advance to the Division II College World Series as the nation's No. 1 team for the second straight year, heading to St. Joseph, Missouri, as one of eight teams remaining in the country. The National Championships begin with four opening-round games on Thursday at Heritage Park.
North Georgia's improbable run to the World Series will go down in history as one of the best stories in NCAA softball history. Currently at 50-0, the Saints stake claim to their second straight 50-win season, and third in the program's 14-year history, while assuring the club's best-ever winning percentage.
While North Georgia has been the nation's No. 1 team for 80 straight days dating back to the first regular season poll of the year on March 3, the Saints have been tested along with the way with a 10-0 mark against teams ranked in the top 25, and a 9-0 mark against clubs in nation's top 10.
Since becoming eligible for postseason play in the NCAA Division II ranks, North Georgia has advanced to the NCAA Tournament every season, making three straight appearances on the national scene with two trips to the World Series, and an all-time mark of 15-4 in the NCAA Tournament.
Four seniors played in their final game at Haines & Carolyn Hill Stadium on Saturday afternoon as Laura Voyles, Jessica Skeels, Courtney McGuire, and Leslee Smith will go out as the second winningest class in school history, currently sitting at 174 wins.
Lenoir-Rhyne's run to one of the top teams in the country comes to an end as the Bears fall to 53-9 on the year and drop consecutive games for just the second time this season. The Bears advanced to their fourth consecutive NCAA Tournament in 2010, and currently sit at 8-12 all-time in NCAA Regional action.
The championship game was scoreless until the third inning when Kasey Knight led off and coaxed a walk to reach base and Lauren Dykes Followed and drilled a double down the left field line, sending Knight racing all the way around to third.
Courtney McGuire followed and lined a double into the left field corner, plating Knight and Dykes to break the scoreless tie and give the Saints a 2-0 advantage.
North Georgia continued their rally in the fourth inning with three more runs, capped by a two-run triple by Knight to send Natasha Willemse and Katherine Martin home and stretch the lead to 5-0.
Knight and the Saints continued to add runs in the fifth inning as the shortstop poked a single through the left side with two outs to plate Pilar Harden and make it 7-0, but the Saints were just getting started as the bats caught fire to plate eight more runs and route the Bears 15-0.
Dykes got the party started with a three-run blast to straight away center, and Leslee Smith followed two batters and planted a two-run bomb halfway up the mountain in left field. Harden and Willemse tacked on RBI hits later in the frame to cap a 10-run fifth inning.
In the bottom of the fifth, the Bears were retired in order as Brandu Haithcock struck out looking to start the frame, and after Tameron Sealey popped out, Brittany Cherry grounded out to Katherine Martin at first base to send North Georgia players into eruption in the pitcher's circle.
Sarah Phillips improved to 43-0 on the year with the victory, as Lenoir-Rhyne was shutout for the first time this season. The junior tossed 5.0 innings of shutout ball, allowing just three hits while striking out seven of the 19 batters she faced.
The Saints will now make travel arrangements as they prepare to fly to St. Joseph, Missouri, on Tuesday in preparation for their opening game of the World Series on Thursday against East Super Regional winner Molloy College out of

Looks fantastic....just as shown online. Platinum does scratch easily, so be careful.
Overall I am okay and happy with the product, but I am upset because: I wanted to change the order to US to save the VAT charge and was told that it will delay the order.Then I got an email that my order is late anyway because there were delays getting the diamond from US. Clearly changing to US would have speed up things. Due to this confusion, I essentially had to pay 800 pounds more.
Excellent quality diamond, delivery was on time. A fraction of the price on high street.
Exceptional service and good delivery time with a call just before they send it to say they are sending it is sucb a brillliant idea

Born Yesterday was written and first directed by Garson Kanin on stage before it was adapted into a blockbuster film in 1950. The plot chronicles the events that happen after a corrupt tycoon, Harry Brock, brings his showgirl mistress, Billie Dawn, with him to Washington, D.C. After comedian Judy Holliday originated the role of Billie Dawn on Broadway, the play has been remounted several times starring an eclectic array of talented performers such as Melanie Griffith and Madeline Kahn. Fans anticipate the next revival, set to go into Previews on Broadway in late March, 2011 at the Cort Theatre with opening night scheduled for April 24th, 2011. The production will be directed by Tony Award winner Doug Hughes and will star Emmy Award nominee Jim Belushi as Harry Brock and Tony Award winner Robert Sean. Fans of the script also can look forward to newcomer Nina Arianda's performance as Billie Dawn.

It was easy to apply and hear back from the financial aid committee but the maximum financial aid is ridiculous. They are incredibly stingy when it comes to giving any money out, I'd recommend applying for external aid.
I received some financial aid but not as much as I should have. They require a lot of paperwork to be filled out and it took all summer to get my financial aid package together.
I feel that the financial aid process at the school could be modified and improved in many ways. It is nice that they email us scholarship opportunities, but many people are not elligable for the ones that they are forwarding along. Also, I feel that each year a student should be re-evaulated as to whether or not they deserve a scholarship. Many students who came into the school having a large academic scholarship have worse grades than students who try really hard and achieve much better GPA's each semester. To me, this does not seem fair. I think student re-evaluation for scholarship elligablitiy would be very useful and important. I also feel that financial aid could do a better job and one on one attention to specific student situations in order to better their situation and to give them advice that is relevant to them.
Tuition is $30,000 per year, no matter how much financial aid you get it's not enough. people usually get scholarship and private loans.
Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences does not give transfer students any type of financial aid. I believe scholarships can be awarded to students whom start in the program from the first year (six-year program).

Sergio Vento, Italy's top diplomat in the U.S., meets Vice Chancellor for Research, views rare Renaissance books.
Sergio Vento, Italy's ambassador to the United States and formerly his country's permanent representative to the United Nations, paid a visit to UCLA March 15. His first appointment was with with Roberto Peccei, the university's vice chancellor for research. Happily, they were able to conduct their discussion of mutual research opportunities in Italian. Ambassador Vento was accompanied by Diego Brasioli, Consul General of Italy in Los Angeles.
While on the campus Sergio Vento met with several Italian faculty members, including Dr. Massimo Ciavolella, chair of the Department of Italian; professors Mario Gerla and Stefano Soatto of the Computer Science Department; and Professor Claudio Pellegrini, chair of the Department of Physics and Astronomy.
The ambassador was given a demonstration of the Visualization Portal in the Math Sciences building. This is an immersive virtual reality display. The system uses three 3-gun projectors to display images on a floor-to-ceiling spherical screen. Ambassador Vento was shown a virtual reality projection of the coliseum of Rome and the Roman Forum.
Ambassador Vento also visited the Young Research Library, where Victoria Steele, the head of the Department of Special Collections, showed him a current display from the Ahmanson-Murphy Aldine Collection. Aldus Manuzio was one of the most influential book printers of his day and published a series of much sought after beautifully illustrated works between 1495 and 1515, making a major contribution to the Italian Renaissance. His heirs continued this tradition with the Aldine Press, 1515 to 1598. Victoria Steel says of the Aldine books at UCLA:
"The collection of the publications of Aldo Manuzio, his family, and imitators was begun in 1961 during the tenure of Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy. It has become the foremost Aldine collection in North America. The UCLA collection contains more than 750 items. . . . The Department has nearly 80 percent of the books printed by the elder Aldo. In May 2001 the University of California Press published The Aldine Press Catalogue of the Ahmanson-Murphy collection of books by or relating to the press in the Library of the University of California, Los Angeles, incorporating works recorded elsewhere."

Tracey Emin, b. 1963. Artist 19 March 2010 (print 2011)
- Scottish Art
Controversial and outspoken artist Tracey Emin appears somewhat apathetic in this quiet portrait. Born in London, Emin studied at Medway College of Design, Maidstone College of Art and the Royal College of Art. She works in a variety of media, including painting, drawing, printmaking, film, installation, embroidery, neon and text - using her personal experiences to make highly confessional works in which she exposes herself, her hopes, humiliations, failures and successes in a very direct manner. Emin deals relentlessly with the minutiae of her life and with the common subjects of sexuality, mortality and what it means to be an artist. She was shortlisted for the Turner Prize in 1999. In 2008 her first major retrospective was held at the Scottish National Modern One.
